I normally stick to my typical Friday night - - Dinner at TGI Fridays and a nice cold beer. My girlfriend has been telling me about this place for quite some time now and we decided to finally head over. First things first, I dont know much about Indian food. The server was extremely patient and explained what each dish was and suggested what I would like based on my preferences. I went with the baryani (shrimp and chicken rice) and the lamb vindiloo. The food was spiced perfectly and absolutely delicious. I have to say my two favorite items there were the Garlic Nahn and the Chicken Spring Rolls. ( Can you believe that?) So tasty, the spring rolls are some sort of an Indian fusion Ive only seen at this restaurant! We declined dessert because we were so stuffed, but the owner offered us a small complimentary taste test of dessert any way to thank us for coming out for the first time. (Some sort of a brown dumpling in a sweet sauce, I forgot the name) All in all incredible experience, Great service and friendly management. Highly recommend! Not too expensive either. It is BYOB though

Restaurant staff are courteous towards customers. Restaurants ambience is simple and good. however i cannot say similar things about food served. i had ordered a vegetable biryani, butter roti and paneer makhani. vegetable biryani was a complete joke. It was just rice with uncooked green beans, garbanzo beans and chilli powder. Im pretty sure thats not biryani. butter roti was hard to chew and paneer makhani was just bearable. thankfully i didnt have to pay complete bill since i had a gift coupon. i still feel the discounted amount i paid for food served wasnt worth it. i would advice anyone thinking of visiting this place not to go and look elsewhere.

I travel for work and eat Indian food wherever I go. Bombay Spice has really good food. The garlic naan was light and aromatic, I savored the aroma before I took a bite. The chicken tikka masala was very good as well. They put bell peppers in it which is a little different than usual but they didnt overcook them so they were still crisp. The raita was a little on the sweet side but good and this is really just a matter of personal preference. The service was fine as well. The decor is typical strip mall chic but Im not a big decor guy as long as the food is good and theirs was very good. I will definitely be going back next time I am in the area.

I went there once for the lunch buffet. The place is really small, and therefor had a really small buffet selection. The food was okay, and I tried some new things, which I liked. I barely fit at the tables there, but I am rather tall. I went again with my fiancée, and we had a nice meal. No complaints. On our third trip, we were ignored. Our order took over 30 minutes just for the appetizer. We were both tired and didnt feel like taking 3 hours to eat. Others that came after us didnt have this problem either. It was just unacceptable for us.

The couple who operate this restaurant are so warm and welcoming, Im sure Ill visit again. Four of us dined on samosas, poori and garlic nan, raita, and three entrées, lamb korma, vetetable korma, and a spicy eggplant dish. The owner visited our table twice to make sure we were happy, and to offer additional rice. I was impressed by his sincere efforts to please us, and would definitely return. My home town is loaded with Indian restaurants, but it was well worth my trip to Bridgewater to taste this delicious, flavorful food. Thumbs up!

This place was a very pleasant surprise! It does not look like much from the outside, but the atmosphere is lovely on the inside. The food was just excellent, and the wait staff was extremely courteous and attentive. We asked for mild spiciness on our dishes, and it was just perfect. As typical with Indian food, they had a copious amount of vegetarian options. The prices were very affordable as well. We will definitely be coming back... its a new favorite!!

I normally dont write reviews but I came in for the lunch buffet and was floored. The tikka masala has to be some of the best Ive ever tasted, as was the naan delivered fresh to the table. Id never tried mango lassi until now and that was great as well! All in all I love this place, the food was great, the servers attentive and the prices just right. Highly recommended, especially for Indian cuisine new comers like myself.

Its only good when you dont have any other choice. Taste wise its Ok, but the buffet variety is hugely disappointing.. They hardly provide three veg options in buffet...appetizers and Dessert is only for name ...I never saw such a cost cutting (profit making) in Indian buffet anywhere else in US I think the only reason this restaurant is still open coz there is no other indian restaurant nearby

Service was good because the manager/ owner took all the time we wanted answering questions about gluten free options. He patiently explained ingredients to all dishes regarding wheat because of my guests serious allergy to wheat. It turns out there are plenty of gluten free options at this place. Food was very very good and we had a pleasant visit.

I went for a lunch buffet today. Only dish that was eatable is Gulabjamun (dessert) and it was very good. Other than that all dishes have no taste and I had a long discussion with the host and told him my honest opinion. I am not sure what kind of food other people ate and gave good reviews.

Its a small to midsize restaurant The ambience was good. Few outside seating arrangements were there as well. We tried the non-veg thali, and bombay special biriyani. The thali was bit expensive but had good content including two types of meat. The biriyani was okay. Staffs were good.

Great Indian food. Every preparation has its own unique flavor, where they use same curry for different items. Bombay spice do not use cream in their food and hence food is very healthy. The service is very good and very quick. We like the diner environment with feel of India.

Chicken dishes are okay.. If i were you i would stick to the curries. Stay away from the brothy vegetarian dishes. The curries are good .. like malia kofta. Staff is OKAY. Food is OKAY. Overall, I would return again because this is the closest indian restaurant to me.

Really didnt enjoy the food. It felt like Indian food not made for indians... The food was pretty bland and for the amount and quality the price was very expensive. The only redeeming thing here was their naan and their staff was pretty nice as well.

I have tried thandoori roti tasted like wood and also tried special biryani which costs more than normal chicken biryani ..full of turmeric taste and some different smell I felt.. I think I will not be trying any more this place.
